They became the subjects in a fabulous interactive tableau, where every screenshot is a work of art (minus the user interface and damage numbers, of course). Once I spent some time in designer George Kamitani’s highly stylised fantasy world, these otherwise freakish figures fell into place. Presented in a short trailer or a series of screenshots, these fantastic characters certainly draw the eye and invite criticism. It’s the context that changes the perspective. The Dwarf never covers his rippling pecs, and the Sorceress’ questionable wardrobe choices are maintained throughout the course of this epic adventure. Dragons Crown can be played as a co-op experience locally or online, but oddly, outside of local co-op on the PlayStation 3, its a feature that needs to be unlocked. There isn’t a piece of equipment in the game capable of covering up the comically massive thighs of my beloved Amazon warrior. An hour into playing the actual game, I stopped noticing. Vanillaware’s tribute to classic side-scrolling action role-playing games has garnered a lot of attention over the past few years for its exaggerated, overly sexualised character designs.
